Al Hudaibiyyah Mosque
Mosque marking the site of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the pivotal six twenty-eight CE pact that opened Mecca to Islam.
This guide to Al Hudaibiyyah Mosque in Mecca follows about fourteen hundred unarmed Muslims who marched from Medina in the year six hundred twenty-eight, dressed in pilgrim white and intending only to pray, until Quraysh cavalry rode out to stop them. It centers on the tense hours after the Prophet Muhammad sent his envoy Uthman ibn Affan into the city to negotiate, and a rumor that reached the camp while he was gone. Beneath an acacia tree here, the Prophet asked every companion present for an oath of total loyalty, and each one, including Umar ibn al-Khattab, placed a hand and swore it.
